Projectile in news report (8)
I believe the answer is:
bulletin
'news report' is the definition.
(bulletin is a kind of news report)
'projectile in' is the wordplay.
'projectile' becomes 'bullet' (bullet is a kind of projectile).
'bullet'+'in'='BULLETIN'
(Other definitions for bulletin that I've seen before include "Regular report" , "Brief report issued to the public" , "Regular newsletter" , "Blue lint (anag.)" , "Broadcast summary of news" .)
